The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existance of recipes way back into distant history, in fact as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. In practice though, in the main part, these old recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some ancient tablets in Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he recounts how the cooks of Roman times made use of many herbs, including many that are still in use today such as bay, rue and asafoetida. Later on, we find two interesting recipe books which date from the 14th Century - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are not about the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared for the rich and wealthy people of the time. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and spices led to a torrent in books on cooking, most of which still exist in private collections. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
